Healing From Abuse and Betrayal with Carol the Coach

Today Carol the Coach will be interviewing Melissa Roberts who has had to overcome  emotional and psychological damage from childhood abuse, trauma, and a sexual partner's betrayal. Melissa Roberts and John Sternfels's study on childhood abuse and its lifelong effects is a beacon of hope for those seeking to overcome trauma and to live a life with affirmation and purpose. This is an inspiring, true story of how one woman overcame emotional and psychological damage from childhood abuse, trauma, and a sexual partner's betrayal. Melissa Roberts and John Sternfels's study on childhood abuse and its lifelong effects is a beacon of hope for those seeking to overcome trauma and to live a life with affirmation and purpose.   In today's world of "safe places" and mandated reporting, social workers, teachers, and others can report stories of child abuse protections being weaponized, misused, or misapplied. Many children have become so aware of their "special" status that they will tell a teacher they are abused simply because their parents didn't buy them a cell phone. Nonetheless, Melissa Roberts's harrowing account of childhood torture will remind readers of how things used to be for abused and neglected children who suffered in darkness and why we must have stringent protections in place today.   Deprived of food, water, and proper medical care while enduring the emotional manipulation of a sadistic, alcoholic father and an enabling, dispassionate mother, Melissa struggles to understand what it means to love and be loved. A chance encounter with a young pastor changes the trajectory of her life and gives her the tools a young girl needs for surviving the horrendous abuse. Melissa will share how she overcame complex post tramatic stress and found her power!

How Can We Practice Fearless Sexuality with Carol the Coach

Today Carol the Coach will be interviewing Taylor Chambers who has devoted his life to helping men become -resilient and to find freedom and liberation from his  addiction and live a healthy life with intimacy, integrity and intention. He explains, "My life journey and career changes led me to develop unique approaches for those who struggle to establish or maintain recovery. Individuals can get stuck in their efforts to become sober. In fact, sometimes obsessing about sobriety can backfire. But I believe a lot of growth is still available for those who have not yet dropped addictive behavior. It can be helpful to widen the focus beyond behavioral change, to larger goals including what I call "fearless sexuality." This involves becoming unafraid of sexuality through intention, integrity, and intimacy. Fearless sexuality can be developed by examining one's relationship to sexuality, developing self-compassion, engaging deeply with values (particularly in intimate relationships), and by applying mindfulness principles."

A Story of Staying Determined with Carol the Coach

We will be talking with the author of Determined for More, Shawna Meek, as she shares about her new book, an authentic memoir of a wife that was given God’s grace beyond her own strength. Shawna shares how she loved, wept, pleaded and grieved, yet never stopped fighting for something she believed was possible. Her story is a real and raw account of twenty-five years of striving and remaining willing to find faith-filled hope in Christ forged by painfully compounding losses.  Coming into marriage with high hopes, Shawna faced a cascade of devastating events. Divorce, remarriage, betrayal trauma, emotional deprivation, and her husband’s late in life diagnosis with autism. This often left her with few options for healing and recovery, yet she persevered and remains determined for more. Shawna truly understands the roots of attachment distress in a marriage, even after addiction sobriety. Her personal story began in 2000, and after many years of mentoring women, she knew God was calling her to an extensive coaching training program and ultimately APSATS as a certified partner coach. She is passionate about supporting women as they face specific challenges on this journey, including boundaries during separation and divorce, abuse and gaslighting, therapeutic disclosure preparation, intimacy anorexia and deprivation, and emotional and sexual reintegration

A key success factor is men’s small groups that center around the subject of sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. Specifically for this discussion is utilizing the Help.Her.Heal Workbook to guide, focus and build accountability for healing and recovery. The primary tools and exercises are Formal Disclosures, emotional check-ins using the Feelings Wheel, practicing AVR, regulating shame during Triggers, understanding Assertive Communication, and developing a sense of camaraderie and connection with other men. Groups benefit men with ‘shoulder-to-shoulder’ sharing, accountability to be authentic, and are beneficial with open and encouraging feedback allowed. Lastly, this fosters the growth and progression of couple centered recovery as the stages of discovery, grief and restoration take place.

Your Marriage Can Survive Porn Addiction with Carol the Coach

Today, Carol the Coach interviews Kirsten D. Samuel, Coach, Author, and Speaker who wants to inspire woman to know that they can survive the devestation that has caused them. She explains that after 25 years of marriage, my husband revealed his addiction. He was caught looking at inappropriate images at work. Like most women who face this discovery, I immediately went into shock and disbelief followed quickly by anger and panic. I wondered what was wrong with me, became overwhelmed by a sense of failure, and felt like I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t believe in divorce but didn’t know how I could live with this man I no longer trusted. The journey to recovery was long, painful, and life changing. End of the story (my favorite part): I have a brand-new marriage with the same man. I want women who face a similar discovery to know that addiction doesn’t have to be fatal to their marriage. However, changes must happen within the relationship and within yourself to move beyond this betrayal and build a healthy relationship. Listen as Kristen shares the keys to regaining her life again!

Passport to Shame---Ticket to Shame with Carol the Coach

Today, Carol the Coach is interviewing Sam Louie who authored Passport to Shame From Asian Immigrant to American Addict. Sam explains that "Asian cultures are rooted in shame. They are known as shame-based societies because the lives, families, and mindsets of these cultures revolve around some aspect of avoiding shame to preserve familial and cultural honor. In Chinese culture alone, there are more than 100 different ways to describe shame. While some of them overlap with English versions of shame, such as a sense of disgrace and humiliation, many others help shed light on why and how shame is so pertinent among Asian cultures. Within the Chinese, some of the shame-related terms and references are: a nation’s humiliation/shame (i.e. bringing shame to yourself also brings shame to your family, ancestors, and community and your entire ethnic background and/or family’s country of origin); the old father-in-law carries the young daughter-in-law on his back to cross a river (in Chinese culture, it is considered inappropriate for a father-in-law to have physical contact with his daughter-in-law, thus equating how taboo it is to be associated with shame); and a person lives by face as much as a tree lives by bark and as much as a light bulb is covered with glass (i.e. stressing the importance of maintaining a positive and good-standing public image)." Listen as they discuss Asian culture and and how it is so deeply rooted in shame and why.

The Porn Solution with Carol the Coach

Today, Carol the Coach interviews Sandra Shachar PhD, who has just released The Solution, Relationship Repair After ography Betrayal. In her book she realizes that can fracture a couples relationship. She writes, "It is likely that your relationship is in crisis following the discovery of hidden ography use. If you, as the discovering partner, accidentally learned about your mate’s ography habit, you may be in a state of shock and disbelief. Perhaps you did not know they were looking at at all. An additional shock may have been seeing the kind of ography they were viewing. You may be feeling hurt, angry, disgusted, confused, devastated, or all of these emotions at the same time. These feelings and reactions (and many more!) are all normal upon the discovery that your partner betrayed your trust with this secret behavior." In The Solution, Dr Shachar, helps you navigate the crisis, learn about betrayal trauma, and walk you through the steps to healthy living again! For the person whose behavior was discovered, when you were confronted you may have “come clean” immediately—admitting your use of ography, promising it would never happen again and begging for forgiveness. On the other hand, you may have tried to explain looking at as a result of the state of your relationship or because of something your partner did or did not do. Perhaps you feel they are overreacting and that “everyone does it, so it’s not a big deal.” You may have tried to reassure your partner that “it isn’t what you think.” Perhaps you feel angry and defensive when they barrage you with questions, guilt and shame for having hidden this from them, or all of these emotions at different times.She wants to help guide you through these normal feelings and come up with an action plan for to help set boundries for your own mental health!

Adult Children of Sex Addicts with Carol the Coach

Today, Carol the Coach will be interviewing Ken Adams who has co-authored a groundbreaking book A Light in the Dark: The Hidden Legacy of Adult Children of Sex Addicts detailing the unique issues experienced by adult children who grew up with a sexually addicted parent, and offering a path to unburden their shameful legacy and embrace sexuality and intimacy without the intrusion or constraints from the past. Adult children who grew up with a parent who had a sexual addiction are left confused, ashamed, and mistrustful regarding the feelings and boundaries surrounding sex, love, and intimacy. Due to the inappropriate sexual behavior of one parent, and the subsequent impact of betrayal on the other parent, these adults carry sexual secrets, have divided loyalties, and are often caught in the middle of their parents’ struggles. Having witnessed (or known of) affairs, walked in on a parent masturbating or viewing ography, received extreme or shameful messages regarding sexuality or gender, experienced sexualized remarks about their bodies, been neglected as a result of the addiction, or were modeled extreme moral values (either too permissive or shaming), these adult children of sex addicts (ACSAs) struggle with their sexuality and longings for love.

Are You Ready to Move On In Your Life Carol the Coach

It is so exhausting to deal with the collateral damage of being a partner. It is just so unfair!  You didn't ask for the betrayal with all of its emotional wounding and many partners wonder if they will ever be able to recover. To make matters worse, partners put themselves on the back burner. Partners have options to get intense help but they delay it because: They resent that they need to make space for this "_____." They resent that there is a need for this support and that it would take them away from their families for 3.5. or 7 days. And yet we know empiracallly that often times the brain needs to reset and being away in a supportive enviroment with others who have been through the same thing is exactly what needs to happen to recalibrate and find the safety and mindset to move forward into restoration of your own life as a couple and individually, Listen as Carol talks with Heidi Kinsella abouth the Partner Intensives that they have created together for Partners!

Finding Your Safe Space with Carol the Coach

Today, Carol the Coach will be interviewing the founder of Safe Space who created it as a resource for women who needed perspective and healing due to the destructive impacts of a romantic relationship.  Having experienced an intensely destructive and confusing marriage, she knew how overwhelming, frightening, and heartbreaking it can be.  She explains in our interview, "I left that marriage terrified, disoriented, and very, very broken.  It took me a long time to put a lot of the pieces together- pieces that allowed me to not only make sense of the reality of what I had experienced, but also feel like I was healing personally.  Through my professional work and personal life, I have since come into contact with so many other courageous and beautiful women whose lives have been turned upside down by destructive relationships. And I am amazed (and saddened) by how many of us there are! Every relationship and every individual is different, and experiencing destructive and confusing patterns in a relationship covers a tremendous breadth of lived experiences.  That is why Safe Space is designed to empower women through teaching principles, providing tools, and also empowering women to see what is true—for themselves; to take back ownership of their own lives through engaging with their agency and sense of personal power. Safe Space will not tell you what to do in your relationship.  It will lay out principles and patterns to help improve your awareness.  It will help you differentiate between what healthy looks like, and destructive patterns to you and your relationship that need to be addressed."

Brainspotting Can Work Through the Impasses in Couples Work with Carol the Coach

Listen as Carol the Coach interviews Julie St Onge as she talks about how brainspotting can assist couples in their relational struggles. Brainspotting allows the emotional brain to reprocess trauma and reorganize it into the cortex or logical brain. It expedites the healing process. It is a process that involves using the optic nerve direction and bilateral music. We tap into where the trauma is and allow it to reprocess and reduce. This is not exposure therapy.  The benefit to couples spotting is that the wounding between the couple comes up immediately. This allows the couple to be more aware of the injuries and triggers that surface without any spoken words. They can be processed and even notice how one wound triggers another. Couples experience connection at a deep level as the emotional base heals. This allows more effective communication and use of tools and skills.

GRACE BASED RECOVERY GROUPS AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING WITH CAROL THE COACH

Listen as Carol the Coach interviews Maurice Crane who is forming a new outreach for men who are struggling with sexual integrity. Grace Based Recovery is the foundation of Be Broken Ministries in San Antonio Texas. Be Broken Ministries is a ministry to men, wives, families with an emphasis on recovery from unwanted sexual behaviors, otherwise known as sex addiction.  Be Broken's flagship outreach is the Gateway to Freedom Weekend Workshops held in San Antonio, TX, Orlando FL and Mt. Bethel PA.  A new outreach is forming to help churches and faith based community leaders come together to continue to address the issue of epidemic sexual addiction:  Grace Based Recovery Groups.  In a Grace Based Recovery group you create an environment of safety for men to gather to share their deepest of sexual struggles as well as their marital/family issues and find the reception warm and inviting to help men, over time, open up to a place of vulnerability. It is an accountability group with an emphasis on growing together through an 8 week training taken from the book Grace Based Recovery by Jonathan Daugherty, founder of Be Broken. Every quarter you start fresh with an 8 week training for new people, but then also hold accountability groups weekly as the group grows.  This is in addition to other groups out there, just a different angle. There is also an emphasis on doing things together as a chance to serve your local community together instead of always living in the framework of me-centric, sex-centric addiction.

When To Stay or Leave a Relationship with Carol the Coach

How to tell if your partner is slipping or you are?   There are many reasons to stay in a relationship, from family, finances, and most importantly love. But staying in a relationship where both parties are figuring out the next steps after the discovery of SA isn’t easy. What if they cheat? What if I can never trust them again? How will I be able to tell if we can move past these issues or if our relationship is doomed? Sometimes, the problem isn’t your partner. In this podcast, Carol the Coach will explore with Rebecca Stokes how to  explore the green lights that tell you your partner is doing well, and maybe it’s your turn to do some work, as well as, the red lights that reveal real problems.

A Survivors Guide to Male Sexual Abuse with Carol the Coach

Sexual abuse is the secret shame that lies deep within. Men hold onto this secret shame for an average of 25 years before they disclose the hurt and pain they have endured and carried by sexual abuse perpetrated by another male. So many men and their spouses wonder how male sexual abuse has affected the survivor. Today Carol the Coach talks to Doug Carpenter who wrote a riveting book call:. The book contains over 40 reasons why men don’t tell.  The degree of shame is significant and it often causes men to have confusing feelings regarding their sexuality.  As men disclose their abuse, it is important to examine how the abuse changed their thinking and behavior. A good majority of men were abused before puberty. The research shows that men on average are abused around the age of eight or nine while in the latency stage of development. The disruption of this phase created a stirring of sexual curiosity and desire that was awakened before its time.  This early awakening has a direct effect on behavior. Boys may tend to seek out further sexual exploration, have an increased interest in ography, seek out their abuser and initiate sexual activity, or may be driven to initiate sexual acts with others long before the natural instinct of puberty and progression into adolescent desires instinctively emerge. The latency disruption sets the stage for acts of sexual impulsivity and compulsivity, but can also lead to emotional dysregulation, sexual anorexia, and sexual dysfunction in adulthood.  Men who have experienced sexual abuse deserve to be heard and to heal! The wounded inner child deserves to be comforted and protected. The lies men have told themselves must be confronted and dispelled. The adult deserves to be free of the impact of sexual abuse and move into living a happy life free of emotional, physical, relational and sexual dysfunction, and sexual compulsivity.

Today Carol the Coach interviews fellow podcaster, Rhys Pasimio who is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sex Addiction Counselor, and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, as well as a soon-to-be certified IFS practitioner. Rhys is in recovery  and produces the Outer Circle Inner Stillness Podcast. He believes recovery is about much more than just behavior change. It is a whole person, whole life transformation, mirroring the conversation experience in a spiritual journey. He will explain the many questions addicts have including, "How do sober people live? What do they do, think, feel and believe that sets them apart from people without addiction, and people not yet in recovery?"  His podcast, Outer Circle Inner Stillness explores answers to this question. He looks at daily practices, basic beliefs and assumptions, that set the individual on a trajectory toward their Outer Circle values, as well as things to avoid that set you on a trajectory toward middle circle chaos. The core of the show explores the intersection of sobriety work and spirituality, and how these disciplines often compliment each other.             Further, there is a series within the series called Lives of the Sober, in which I interview people with 25 years or more of recovery. My aim is to capture the wisdom of our recovery elders, so we can learn from their example. He hopes that this will inspire others along the journey!

She explains to Carol the Coach, "When we are ‘on the road’ in our relationship, we get along fine and are able to navigate amicably our varying interests and desires.  On the road, we are conscious, mindful, balanced, and aware.  However, when we don’t know how to balance our wants and desires with our mate, it’s like we get stuck in a ditch. Where we land depends on childhood experiences.  We either default to becoming a people pleaser Others-Focused” (OF) or insist on our own way “Me-Focused.” (MF).  Over time I discovered 21 predictable OF and MF default behaviors, though that’s not an exhaustive list. Each ditch behavior represents and extreme behavior that is a subconscious, automatic, preprogrammed, reaction, driven by fear and feeling powerless to do anything else.  When the default behaviors don’t work, we switch to the opposite extreme reaction, propelling our counterpart to the opposite ditch. OF’s engage in their behaviors to protect themselves from the rejection they experienced in childhood by acting in abandoning ways, while MF’s try to protect themselves from abandonment by acting in rejecting ways.  When we identify our reactive behaviors, name the fears driving them, we then can overcome those fears by engaging in a combination of the 24 strategies offered. " Find out how you can create healthier relationships too!

Is Trauma Getting in the Way of Your Recovery with Carol the Coach

Healing trauma using somatic experiencing (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). When is it addiction and when is it trauma? Many people who accept their sex addiction issues embrace that their focus must be on recovery. What if you’re in recovery and working your program, but life isn’t improving? What if old behaviors keep creeping up or your relationships are still suffering. What if relapses, near slips, and shame start to tank recovery? Sometimes your problem isn’t a lack of recovery dedication, sometimes it’s trauma. Unfortunately, when people hear the word trauma, they think of voyaging through the dark night of a soul. This can lead to fears of further relapses, fear of digging through the past, and worse, fear of yet another bad experience with a therapist who insists on treating the “T” word without knowing how. In this episode, Carol the Coach will talk with Rebecca Stokes about the treatment modalities that work best for treating trauma, and how to navigate the alphabet soup of terms you might encounter like EMDR, SE, and IFS. We’ll also explore when to add trauma treatment to your recovery, how to decide which program might work best for you, and how to find and interview the right treatment provider.

What Churches, Pastors and Parishoners Need to Know with Carol the coach

Today, Carol the Coach interviews Darrel Brazell a pastor from New Hope Recovery Ministry who feels like the church has a lot of work to do to support the many problems a congregation faces in todays world. One of his missions is to connect to church leaders about sexual issues in every church. He would like to speak as a pastor to pastors, ministry leaders, and counselors about the pitfalls of not having training and experience in SA. And he believes that offering grace to a struggling man is essential but so is following up to help him actually do recovery and come clean with his wife. (With a therapeutic full disclosure facilitated by a trained professional). I He believes he can speak directly to this because even with 20+ years of experience and my own background here, he has to constantly fight with himself to not allow his deep compassion for the struggler to prevent him from also recognizing what he has done and is doing in causeing great harm to his wife. He recognizes the impossible forced choice wives have when they gut is saying something is wrong, their husband is saying “everything is fine” and their spiritual community is saying, “Forgive him, trust him,” etc. without the husband demonstrating sincere and effective recovery. He hopes to help our male listerners and their wives by speaking to the wives of men wrestling with sexual addiction issues about why they need to seek out help from CSATs, APSATs, etc. and not assume their clergy are able to adequately address these issues He also recognizes a special population and  would like to speak directly to pastor’s wives who have suspicions or knowledge of their husband’s ography use or other sexual struggles. Today he will be sharing a weath of knowledge to our audience about reaching the masses at the religious level!

Passport to Shame

As a first-generation immigrant in this country, Sam Louies identity and those of others like his was nuanced.  He explains that Yes we are “Americans” but we are Americans with cultural and ancestral ties elsewhere.  And not just elsewhere in a vague kind of way like, “Well, I think I’m a mix of Irish and Scottish” but in a very tangible and direct link to my ethnic heritage, immigration story, along with the language, customs, and worldviews passed down through the generations.  Consequently, our identities are intertwined to the country we live in, our country of origin, those of our colonizers, or a combination of those.  But the external pressure of assimilation has been one where I’ve been asked to strip myself of my past understanding of self and prove my allegiance to this country by simplifying my identity as one of just, “American”.  The implicit mainstream message was that the pathway to citizenship, acculturation, and acceptance in this country was the adoption of patriotism to the degree that the only color accepted was red, white, and blue oozing out of my pores.  But in doing so, I betrayed what it truly means to be American in my eyes while also betraying my ancestral roots.

De-Stigmatizing Sexual Addiction with a New Framework with Carol the Coach

Bill Herring is a certified sexual addiction therapist who has maintained a private practice in Atlanta for over 30 years.  For many years Bill was a board member and conference chair of the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health (“SASH”). Bill has published many professional articles, including one we will be discussing today. In 2017 he wrote a chapter for a book on the history of the sex addiction field.  That same year Bill wrote “A Framework for Categorizing Chronically Problematic Sexual Behavior”, which won Article of the Year by the publisher.  In 2019 Bill received the prestigious “Carnes Award” from the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health for his pioneering work advancing understanding of this field of study.  Just about anything you want to know about Bill can be found at billherring.com. Today, Carol the coach will be interviewing Bill, who will be talking about the framework for categorizing problematic sexual behavior that he introduced in 2017.  This framework provides a way to distinguish types of sexual behavior as problematic without having to label the person.  This helps avoid the conflict that often happens when a person is reluctant to self-identify as a sex addict while still wanting help for their sexual behavior.  This framework allows people who may not be truly sexually addicted to receive assistance for their sexual concerns without having to accept a diagnosis.  By using five short conversational questions this framework gets to the heart of what is problematic about any type of sexual behavior without assigning labels.  This framework has a lot of implications for people who struggle with their sexual behavior as well as the professionals who want to help them improve their lives.

Today, Carol the Coach will be interviewing Louise A Stanger Ed.D, LCSW,  who is going to help us understand Addiction In The Family- Helping Families Navigate Challenges, Emotions and Recovery. He explains that Covid 19 has seen an unprecedented rise in the use and misuse of alcohol, marijuana, prescription, and nonprescription drugs (opioids and stimulants) etc.  This coupled with the rise of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues along with gastrointestinal issues has created a perfect storm. Americans’ today report that they have either started or increased their substance use as a way of coping with stressors related to Covid 19. Neilson reported a 54% increase in national alcohol sales in March of 2020 for example as opposed to a year ago and online sales on alcohol increased by 262% from 2019 to today. Marijuana sales and online deliveries have also increased. The World Health Organization has warned that alcohol use will potentially exacerbate health concerns and risk-taking behaviors. Today, the challenges facing American families and the workforce is enormous based on the increasing numbers of folks who are looking for solace in mind altering substances.

Men with Sex Addiction Need to Do the Deeper Work with Carol the Coach

As you know, the world is filled with men who struggle to connect emotionally, leaving many women feeling disappointed in relationships. But why are some men like this? What happened that they cannot emotionally engage in a healthy way? Today, Dr. Eddie Capparucci, talks about what he believes is going on inside of men who suufer from sexual compulsivity or with men who are in recovery but havin't work out their deeper issues.The reason goes back to a lack of nurturing required in the early stages of childhood development, where kids learn to attune, regulate emotions, trust, be empathic, and self-soothe. His new book, entitled "Why Men Struggle to Love: Overcoming Relational Blind Spots"explains how men who possess low emotional IQs struggle to thrive in relationships and how they can change. It also shows how they may be prone to addictive behaviors such as sex and addictions.   Dr. Eddie Capparucci, LPC, C-CSAS, specializes in the treatment of sex/ addiction. He is the creator of the Inner Model for treating this disorder and the author of the popular book “Going Deeper: How the Inner Child Impacts Your Sexual Addiction.” I refer so many men to Dr. C. because he helps them understand their core wounds and attach more successfully to their wives!

Finding Emotional Safety After Betrayal with Carol the Coach

It’s hard enough to fully enjoy mutual intimacy in our romantic relationship. When picking up the pieces after relational betrayal, these natural difficulties become even more complex. After betrayal, navigating daily tasks and wondering what the future holds can feel very uncertain and fearful for both partners and the family. Today, Carol the Coach is interviewing Alex Avilia, who is going to be explaing the dynamics between the coupleship. Each person needs to feel a sense of Emotional Safety. When relational instability and loss of trust become emotionally painful, betrayed partners need to know they have something to hold onto. They can develop individual strength and resiliency and ask their addicted partner to be emotionally safe for them. The addict’s attitude and presence—along with their consistent desire to develop relational insights and skills—means everything. Only when they can provide the safety and responsiveness that the betrayed partner wanted all along will they be able to fully heal themselves and exponentially boost their partner’s sense of trust. In this episode, you will learn about the vital need for Emotional Safety, how to assess your vulnerability when taking risks to share more deeply, and how to stay present and engaged so both partners can feel increased hope in their relational recovery.

What is Attachment Focused EMDR with Carol the Coach

Today, I would like to interview Aaron Tempel who is an CSAT who believes attachment focused EMDR really increases the effectiveness of treatment. He is going to discuss Attachment Focused EMDR, or AF-EMDR in its use for treating individuals struggling with sexual addiction or betrayal trauma. While trained to work with partners, my experience is largely working with sexual addiction/compulsivity. EMDR has long been used in the treatment of trauma and has diversified into the treatment of various disorders, primarily with the focus on traumatic experiences. AF-EMDR has been developed by Laurel Parnell of the Parnell Institute, to focus on treatment of attachment wounds and relational traumas. I focused on AF-EMDR because sex addicts typically have experienced attachment wounding/trauma that has not been addressed, which then can lead to unwanted sexual behaviors that bring them to my office. AF-EMDR utilities Resource Tapping to connect with attachment resources, improve coping skills for distress, and can be utilized with disclosure preparation and dealing with triggers. Additionally, AF-EMDR often uses a modified EMDR protocol in order to stay in the right brain processing and improve attachment repair.

Bouondaries Are All About You with Carol the Coach

In this segment Carol the Coach  will be discussing boundaries with Jocelyn Hamsher. Boundaries are defined as a set of expectations and limits we have around our interactions with ourselves and others. They help us keep our side of the street clean and sets our relationships up for success because we are able to communicate our expectations in a healthy way. Boundaries are not about manipulating or changing anyone else, they are solely about protecting ourselves. A good way to determine areas of our life that may need boundaries is to look for pain points in our life and from there establish what we need in order to minimize the pain point. Often we struggle most with boundaries when we struggle with knowing what our wants and needs are, which is a symptom of unresolved trauma. Once we are able to identify our needs and wants, then we need to formulate boundaries to help get those met and then communicate them in a healthy way. This also includes action steps for instances where the other person chooses not to respect our boundaries. In sex addiction specifically, we need to establish boundaries around our pain points in recovery such as safe guards on technology and having consistent accountability.

Seeking the Right Resources After Betrayal with Carol the Coach

In any relationship where betrayal occurs through acting out in any harmful manner, the partners’ breakage leaves them in unbearable distress and fear for an unknown future. Defense mechanisms further create distance when trauma triggers negatively influence the reactions of both parties in the relationship. The acting out partner uses maladaptive coping skills to relieve distressing feelings learned in childhood. The betrayed partner loses trust and suffers a multitude of painful emotions. Further acting out and boundary violating behavior of the addict compounds distrust, fueling distance from the betrayed spouse. IF there is any chance for spouses; this I where CSAT and ASAT therapists enter the picture.

Today Carol the Coach is reinterviewing WeTonglen who is a safe community for partners and ex-partners of , sex, and love addicts to share their stories of healing and hope, and find comfort and resources to aid on the journey of mending our broken hearts. They believe sex addiction is a deep-seated intimacy disorder created by early life attachment wounds in the addict. They support partners and ex-partners as they experience deeply distressing and traumatic reactions, also known as betrayal trauma. They do not believe the partner or ex-partner of a sex addict is to blame for causing or contributing to the addict’s acting-out behavior. Victim-blaming, collusion with the addict’s gaslighting, and blame-shifting to focus on the supposed contribution of the partner to the addict’s dysfunction can be retraumatizing to partners.  WeTonglen is based on the perspective of Dr. Rob Weiss’s Prodependence, a model based in the field of attachment science, which does not pathologize partners as inherently damaged individuals, but instead affirms partners as relatively healthy people responding to an incredibly stressful situation. WeTonglen is all about supporting each other as we confront our new realities, grapple with life changes we never expected, and safeguard ourselves with thoughtful boundary-setting and self-care.

Recovery discovered a core theme across all demographics - the belief that we are not enough to be loved, just as we are. This intrinsic, inescapable need for acceptance, connection, for love is at the root of addiction as well as the solution for it. How can we expect to eradicate addiction in a system that reenforces the very beliefs that cause it?   Jace and her clients have experienced freedom from addiction through a radical twist to the recovery process - starting from the foundation that there is nothing wrong with you.

Reclaiming Your Sensuality with Carol the Coach

Sex addiction is an illness where the addict uses sex to self-medicate, to cope with overwhelming emotions. It’s about disconnection, not finding a more attractive partner. But often, partners fear just that, as the movie plays in their heads with more attractive partners acting in more sensual ways, which can make them feel unattractive and disconnected from their own sexuality. It’s hard enough as is, with the images that media projects as sexy, since the reality is that sexiness isn’t about what we look like, it’s about the attitude we have towards how we look – something that can fail us when our mindset is preoccupied with erroneous fears. This episode will focus on getting your groove back, and reclaiming your sensuality, versus giving the addiction the power to define it. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, Rebecca Rosenblat is sensitive to the struggles of a partner. As a Clinical Sexologist, she’s aware of sexual challenges, including how we feel about ourselves.

Couples Recovery and Addiction with Carol the Coach

Today, Carol the Coach is interviewing Laney Knowlton who has worked in the field of sex addiction for over a decade years. She has  developed a model for couples called Coupled Recovery. It uses similarities between the trauma cycle and the addiction cycle to create a common language for addicts and partners, creating a foundation for connection throughout recovery, which starts with emotional safety. This approach is meant to be used in conjunction with individual recovery work. Current models in the field tend to focus on either the addict or the partner. The differences between approaches can make it difficult for partners to see if addicts are working towards recovery, understand the work they are doing, and feel safe in recovery. At the same time, the work that partners do to heal themselves and the relationship is not seen and understood by the addict, and sometimes even left out of the recovery process, making it much more difficult for partners to heal.

The choice they are faced with has very little to do with external decisions about their life– divorce, reconciliation, therapy, polygraphs and disclosure, why the betrayer did what they did, etc. There are two paths ahead. The must choose one.                                  The path on the left is the relationship healing journey – individual therapy, partners group, S-Anon, marital therapy, accountability, etc. This path manages the acute crisis yet wellness still depends largley on the “we” and not the “I”.  The path on the right far more difficult; it is a Heroes’ Journey.  They will battle two-headed dragons, angry monsters and, the scariest monster of all, their own dark side (shadow self).  If they hang on for dear life and stay on their journey, they will emerge, like the Phoenix rises from the ashes, transformed.  Death and then rebirth.  Partners must slay their own dragons to transform themselves.  In the spirit of Kintsugi, brokenness is not to be hidden with gorilla glue but rather it is to be celebrated and mended with gold.  She believes that partner should be celebrating the wisdom, beauty and strength in their brokenness.

What’s my sense of reality that I did not see the dual life of the one who betrayed me sooner? How could I have entrusted myself and my family to a person I did not know? You have been wounded on so many levels. I would like to repeat: betrayal trauma is not your fault. " Listen as she talks about why she believes that it is so hard for male partners to ask for help!

She explains that her then spouse had moved us 1500 miles away, uprooted us from our support, my job etc to what we were being told was a job he HAD TO TAKE. It turns out it was to move us to the town his mistress's plural yes plural-- lived in. I caught the affairs shortly after moving there. She did what so many do and immediately found a therapist and while paying this therapist $350 an hour he would nod his head and say to me oh this sounds so painful. Heather realized that his well intentioned empathy was not good enough and it motivated her to take action.  Although she reached dark places, and became unrecognizable, she found resiliency.  Today, nearly 6 years later she will tell you that whileit was incredibly painful and she acknowledges,  "I would not have had to have that lesson and pain handed to me... I also am grateful for it!" I had plenty of warning signs and red flags that my marriage was not good and it took this level of intense shock to my system to get my attention and dig in deep on me.

It is Time to Bring More Action Into Your Recovery with Carol the Coach

Like other addictions, sexual addiction, or hypersexuality, can be masking deeper issues such as anxiety, stress and depression. How we feel after a sexual experience is usually a good barometer for our intention leading up to it. Do we feel more connected or do we feel less connected, that hollow feeling that can ensue?  Carol the Coach will be interviewing Murray Hidary who is a multi-diciplanary expert at helping people shift their ability to take responsibility and action for their lives.  He has developed a tool he refers to as the MindTravel method which brings radical responsibility to any situation. Viewing an issue through the lens of radical responsibility involves bringing awareness to the behavior and its impacts on our lives and the lives of others, full acceptance of these realizations and then taking intentional action to remedy and move forward in a healthy way. Awareness. Acceptance. Action.  The relationship with our sexuality is an ongoing journey as it is relational, in dynamic response to others and an external expression of our ever evolving inner state. It requires consistent awareness and attention; mindfulness. Through music, reflection and entering into a deep listening to what is going on within and around us the door opens to a life lived with more freedom, no longer at the mercy of our fears and wounds.

How To Move On From Shame with Carol the Coach

Shame is the most painful of all emotions. People will go to almost any length to avoid feeling it. The problem with addiction as a way to avoid shame is that once the addictive behavior ends, the shame comes back many fold.

Substituting Addiction for Human Closeness with Carol the Coach

Carol the Coach interviews Forest Benedict who is a therapist who specializes in the treatment of sexual addiction. The perspective that guides his work is attachment theory. From this viewpoint, sexual addiction is an attachment or intimacy disorder. When a secure attachment to a caregiver is not developed in early life, a person is more susceptible to addiction. In his book “Addiction as an Attachment Disorder”, Flores states it this way:  “No one ever escapes their need for satisfying relationships, and the degree to which we are unable to form healthy interpersonal intimacy determines the degree to which we are vulnerable to substitute [addiction] for human closeness.”   In this show he explains that when you combine this lack of relational trust with the opportunity for a mood-altering experience, such as using ography,  it becomes a formula for creating a powerful connection with a non-relational entity. Over time, this can become a person’s primary method of relieving stress, soothing sadness, calming anger, and managing other moods.   Looking at addiction through this attachment lens, one of the primary sources of healing is choosing to disconnect from addiction while simultaneously learning to connect in safe relationships. From this standpoint, healing means much more than mere abstinance or “sobriety”. That is why specific, daily exercises as well as other recovery components are recommended for deep, long-term recovery. Listen as Foresrt Benedict shares exercises to get you closer to the intimacy you deserve!

Shadows of the Cross: A Roadmap for the Healing Journey with Carol the Coach

Carol the Coach will be interviewing Craig S. Cashwell one of the co-authors of Shadows of the Cross. This book  focuses on sex addiction recovery for Christian men and women. Often, Christians who struggle with sex addiction live the ultimate "Jekyll and Hyde" existence, being active in their church communities even as they hide their addiction. The Christian church, in general, struggles to address issues of sexuality in a non-shaming way, which further supports the hidden nature of the addiction. For these men and women, spirituality and sexuality have become compartmentalized. Recovery, then, must involve the integration of healthy spiritual beliefs and practices with healthy sexuality. Shadows of the Cross used in conjunction with Dr. Patrick Carnes's book Facing the Shadow provides a roadmap for this healing journey. Shadows of the Cross provides an early spiritual focus to recovery while addressing issues of sexuality in a non-shaming way using Biblical scripture to encourage long-term recovery. Shadows of the Cross offers unique guidance on spiritual practices such as Christian meditation, contemplative reading, solitude, confession, study, and prayer. This book was written specifically for the subset of those in recovery who self-identify as Christian.

Borderline Personality Disorder and Sexual Addiction with Carol the Coach

Sex addicts and partners of sex addicts can have mental illnesses that complicate diagnosis and recovery.  One of these mental illnesses is borderline personality disorder, or BPD.  BPD is commonly associated with sex addiction and makes sex addiction much more difficult to diagnose and treat because the criteria for both diagnoses overlap.  BPD is considered a severe personality disorder often caused by cumulative trauma experienced in early and middle childhood.  Carol the Coach will interview Geoff Goodman who not only is a CSAT but a proffessor of psychology. He will be explaining some of the symptoms of BPD which include frantic attempts to avoid abandonment, chronic feelings of emptiness, and impulsivity, which can include self-injurious behaviors and sexual promiscuity.  It is important that mental health professionals screen for BPD when they assess sex addicts and partners of sex addicts.  BPD is extremely challenging to treat in psychotherapy because patients diagnosed with BPD often attempt to push away their therapists with hostile behaviors.  Fortunately, there are several evidence-based treatment models for BPD that, when combined with a 12-step program for sex addiction or codependency, can help the patient to find a successful path of recovery.

Attachment and Living in the Moment: Sexual Addiction with Carol the Coach

Carol the Coach will be interviewing Caroline Smith who runs intensives for Pine Groves. She believes, "The word “recovery” literally means “to recapture or regain that which has been lost or stolen.”  Reestablish, restore, resuscitate, resume, reform, renew, and rebirth are all applicable concepts.   Meaningful-sustainable recovery is so much more than just cessation of self-defeating sexual behaviors and compulsive cycles of intensity, secrecy and despair.  Once destructive mood-altering patterns have been arrested, the journey of a lifetime can begin; the sacred journey within."  Rather than reactively living in the past or anxiously worrying about the future, secure attachment requires living mindfully, moment by moment.  To use a financial metaphor “yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, today is all the cash you have so use it wisely.”  Wisdom means finding ones internal therapist and incorporating ones internal observes/leader. To understand yourself requires looking at your life and attachment patterns and the influence of early childhood experiences on your life. Learn about your own attachment style and how it helped to trigger your SA. Sexual Addiction is a disorder that requires strategies to assist you in maintaining recovery.

EMDR Can Be Helpful For Trauma with Carol the Coach

Have you been considering EMDR for trauma that occured as a child? Listen tonight as Carol the Coach talks to Katie Raines who will be discussing how she uses it for clients who have been through trauma and feels that it is interferring with their lives. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR seems to have a direct effect on the way that the brain processes information. Normal information processing is resumed, so following a successful EMDR session, a person no longer relives the images, sounds, and feelings when the event is brought to mind. You still remember what happened, but it is less upsetting. Many types of therapy have similar goals. However, EMDR appears to be similar to what occurs naturally during dreaming or REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Therefore, EMDR can be thought of as a physiologically based therapy that helps a person see disturbing material in a new and less distressing way. We must access the parts of the brain that process pictures and symbols, and connect with troubling emotions and body sensations, in order to effectively address and heal from trauma. EMDR has been extensively researched and proven as a highly effective form of treatment. Clients find new vitality in their lives after each EMDR session.   Carol the Coach has worked with 1000's of clients who have fought this disorder and learned how to manage it and live fully optimal lives.

When Is Love & Sex Addiction A Problem with Carol the Coach

The terms “sex” and “love/relationship” addiction are being over used, yet undertreated. The major reasons that these toxic relationships are not being fully addressed are lack of education and limited time of treatment. Sex and love are often referred to as the “less serious” addictions, when in actuality the consequences of these relational addictions affect every area of a person’s life, just as severely as an alcohol or drug addiction. Often the signs of sex and love/relationship issues go unnoticed when addressing the targeted addiction, especially if past and present relationships are not explored throughout treatment. It is critical to look at all behaviors that might be serving the same purpose of avoiding the underlying issues the behaviors provide relief from. Sex and love/relationship addiction often occur as a co-occurring or cross addiction. This leads to a high risk for relapse in the primary addiction or as an alternative to the “quick fix” another addiction provided. Just as the criteria for sex and love addictions are similar, so is the treatment process. An accurate assessment, both group and individual therapy, DBT training and attending 12 step programs have been effective. Love and Sexual Addiction can be managed if you utilize a variety of resources. This radio show teaches you the recovery tasks needed to work through the shame that accompanies this compulsion.

Don't Be Fooled by the Sex Addict with Carol the Coach

If you suspect that your partner, someone you love and trust most in the world, is hiding a secret life as a sex addict from you, it can be devastating and traumatizing. The world can feel like it’s crashing down around you. Many partners of sex addicts have been fooled by the promises made by the addict even late in recovery, and find themselves starting the process all over again. The broken promises, the secrets and discoveries, the continuous lying—either deliberately or by omission—can be the most debilitating aspects of sex addiction. Many betrayed partners talk about their feelings of shock, confusion, humiliation, and anger. Discovering the deception is a lightning bolt that forever changes their world. Finally, there is a resource that can help partners whether they choose to stay in the relationship or not. Facing Heartbreak: Steps to Recovery for Partners of Sex Addicts (Gentle Path Press, 2012) takes readers through a series of specific tasks and exercises that educate, empower, and guide the partners of sex addicts through a process of recovery as they reclaim their lives from heartbreak and betrayal to hope and healing.

A Roadmap to Sex Addiction Recovery with Carol the Coach

Sex Addiction affects the whole family. Often the addict lives a double life. The addict lives two lives; a public life (family, friends and work) and a private life that he keeps secret. The secret life has become a sort of friend for the addict. Anytime he/she is stressed or bored they turn to their trusty friend sex addiction to cope. They get caught up in the cycle of addiction. Stress or boredom leads to sex seeking behaviors, which leads to acting out sexually, which leads to remorse, shame, and fear of being found out which leads to more stress or numbing out (boredom) and the cycle begins again. The addict may have tried to quit always going back for more. The problem is that the shame feeling actually keeps the sex addict in the addiction cycle.  Teresa Maples Certified Sexual Addiction Expert says, I teach people to tell their story. Often I am the first person they have ever told that they had been molested as a child. Research has shown, most addictions are a result of some trauma a person endured as a child. Telling the story of the trauma is healing. I developed a blog called “couples thrive” to address the issues surrounding couples and sex addiction. It is a difficult journey and many marriages topple without help and guidance. Couples need a roadmap or guide to find a way to stay together.

Couples Work: The Common Denominator is You w/ CaroltheCoach

John and Elaine, in their journeys through recovery, have learned that to simply regret their past misbehavior does nothing to help insure that the misbehavior will not occur again.  In fact, one of the lessons recovery has taught them is that the person I was will fall again.  They have found that this principal seems to hold true in all areas of life, including romantic relationships.  That is to say that the individual who finds himself/herself ending up repeatedly at an undesirable point in their romantic relationship(s) time and again should look for the common denominator: him or her.  If they desire the relationship to change he/she should look no further than to start with himself/herself.  Join John and Elaine Leadem as they discuss how to break old patterns  and learn the necessary steps  that keeps a relationship healthy and forward moving!

An Email From A Spouse with Carol the Coach

I recently received an email from a listener named Wendy and she wrote,"There is very little help available to sex addicts, and even less to the partners of sex addicts, until now!!! I am happy to say, that my husband of nearly 10 years has been clean & sober 15 months, and while we've definitely had our ups & downs along the way, our relationship is better then ever.  Confirming his sex addiction was a devastating blow, one in which I never thought I could recover from.  He has worked extremely hard, going to therapy, and attending SAA, which I believe have been the reason he's been able to hang on to his sobriety. My husband encouraged me to seek my own individual help, which in the beginning I refused.  I was angry & biter, and who would blame me?  I agreed to attend one COSA meeting, and have been there since...10 months later.  Our current success I believe is due to both of us working our individual programs, setting boundaries, and at least for me, trying to understand the challenges the sex addict faces each day.  Likewise for him, in trying to understand how his sex addiction has effected me. You're program has helped with this. I don't know what our future holds, but i can tell you, that since facing this problem, we have both grown as individuals, and together.   Sexual Addiction is a disorder that requires strategies to assist you in maintaining recovery.
